Bad Boys II Customer Reviews (40 - 42 of 70 Reviews)

mindless
Modern movie action, not much of a story. All special effects and crazy car chases.

The Quality of DVD Authoring = Bad
Bad Boys II was a great movie to watch, full of action humor. Some of the camera work for this movie was truly amazing, and a lot of original ideas were explored. but the intent of this short review unfortunately isn't all praise.

While I liked the movie, the DVD itself was disappointing. The Second disc is loaded with cool extra features that didn't disappoint. However, the main feature was flawed. Chapters 10 through 14 (From Phat's Electronics until the chapter when Smith and Lawrence pick up the KKK guy from jail and put him in the trunk) are interlaced, which is really odd. It's hard encoded 3-2 interlacing, 3 progressive frames followed by 2 interlaced ones. Watching on a normal TV, you wouldn't notice at all, as they display interlaced images. However, on any HIgh definition system (Including a computer), these 4 chapters will look like utter crap. On my home theater system which includes a High-Def Projector with a built in Ti deinterlacer, these 4 chapters still looked bad. So, in short,

IF YOU HAVE A HIGH DEFINITION SYSTEM, DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!

I think this was simply an authoring mistake, but it is one which really annoys me. I haven't seen this information posted anywhere, so I felt the need for a review. Hope this was helpful for some.

Looks Good
Okay, I haven't seen this movie yet but I have seen the trailor to this movie and looks really good. Both Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have done tremendous jobs in past movies as both comedians and action stars. The first Bad Boys was totally awesome and this one looks to be just as good. Here is the plot...

Detectives Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) return, only this time they are investigating the booming ecstasy business in South Florida. Their investigation leads to an evil kingpin who has started a violent turf war in Miami. To make their problems worse, Mike begins to fall for Marcus' half sister,Syd (Gabrielle Union). It's a relationship that threatens Mike and Marcus' friendship and put Syd's life in danger.

Anyway, I cannot wait for this summer to see this movie. Smith latest film was MIB II which was just ok. Bad Boys II may be a good improvement on Smith's career and Lawrence doen's really need that much of an improvement because he recently starred in National Security which was totally awesome. I was so thrilled when I heard of Bad Boys II and I am definetly gonna see it when it is released.
